it makes me sad to think I might never work on a collider. High-energy physics is what I love to do. how many times do you hear that. science consumes me. and it sucks that all I can do is read Feynman in my spare time and daydream about how cool it would be to be doing what I love. I’m stuck doing pharma or IT bitchwork. who knows if I’ll ever get a Ph.D, and wether I’ll ever practice what I love to do. at least I’m working, I guess. I just found a job playing with acoustic microscopes. whopty-shit, right? like anyone ever made a difference with an acoustic microscope. I want to play at CERN. I want to smash things together and see what comes of it. I want to be on the team that sees the first supersymmetric particle, or higgs particle. high-energy particle physics just screams at me.
I just finished “the pleasure of finding things out” by Richard Feynman. I have as much jealousy as I do repect for that man. who the hell was ever jealous of a physicist? maybe I have issues. Maybe I just need to be happy with my lot and see what comes of it.

Ah, De/Vision….great choice.
I know how you feel, being frusturated and all. I too am ‘stuck’ in IT and have not even yet gone to college! I’ve always wanted to study either geology or geography; or perhaps even ecology or environmental science. I’d be thrilled to have a career in any of those fields. I’d love to trek around the planet and study rock formations or ecosystems.
Ugh, going to college part time while working full time will suck. 🙁
Hrm…had I been willing to move to the West Coast I’d be working at NASA/JPL now. Go figure. But I know what you mean. 🙂
NASA ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. Bunch of low-achieving civil serpents and contractor wage slaves. Seriously. I wish it wasn’t so.
at leas tyou don’t work at a grocery store like i have to now. how’s nabisco been? i’ll finally be returning this tuesday, stupid work….
Talk to AJ
He’s worked on stuff like that.
Re: Talk to AJ
yeah, I should. I just need to do some grad work. hopefully one of these days I’ll have the time.
